Our Services

HIPS

Many of the injuries that happen to this ball-and-socket joint stem from overuse and the wear-and-tear of constantly being in motion. A range of surgical options are available to relieve the pain and restore the mobility of those suffering from hip joint pain.

KNEE

SHOULDER

The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in which tissues break down and no longer function well.
